Summary:
The Henrietta Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single elementary school, Henrietta Elementary, which educates 402 students in grades PK through 5 in a community where about 55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Henrietta Elementary is a school of stark contrasts, with performance varying dramatically by grade and subject. The school's strongest area is 4th grade reading, where 55.36% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming the state average and marking a remarkable 16.65 percentage point improvement from the prior year. However, this success is offset by a persistent crisis in 5th grade mathematics, where proficiency has hovered around just 25% for two consecutive years—roughly half the state average. The school also shows troubling volatility in reading scores: while 4th grade reading soared, 3rd grade reading dropped sharply by 13 points to 35.09% proficiency. On a positive note, 5th grade science is a bright spot, with 35.48% of students proficient, exceeding the state average by nearly 6 points.
Overall, the school's state percentile rank has declined from the 45th to the 38th percentile over three years, indicating a gradual loss of ground relative to other Texas elementary schools. The district itself ranks 499th out of 951 districts in Texas, earning a 2-star rating. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 and moderate per-student spending of $10,702, the school has resources that could be better leveraged to address the inconsistent instructional quality suggested by these extreme performance swings. The most urgent priority is investigating and overhauling the 5th grade math curriculum and interventions, while the successful science program may offer strategies that could be applied to other subjects to reverse the school's declining trajectory.
